Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The correct code for a patient being treated for dysphasia following nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage is I69.021, which specifically denotes "nontraumatic" subarachnoid hemorrhage with dysphasia. Option A (I69.020) denotes "unspecified" subarachnoid hemorrhage without specific mention of dysphasia. Option C (I69.022) denotes "nontraumatic" subarachnoid hemorrhage without specific mention of dysphasia. Option D (I69.023) denotes "nontraumatic" subarachnoid hemorrhage with "other" and "unspecified" speech and language deficits, but does not specifically mention dysphasia.
